Dr. Zacharias welcomes Dr. Michael Victoroff, a COPIC consultant and health information technology expert, to talk about the increased use of telehealth driven by COVID-19 and how this has become a more permanent shift in health care. They discuss the applicable regulations and practical guidelines that are defining the telehealth environment and what physicians should know to effectively navigate these interactions. Dr. Victoroff shares his thoughts about how the perspectives of providers, patients, and regulatory agencies have changed, the importance of reimbursement, and why “telehealth is one of the best things to happen to medicine.” In addition, he highlights considerations with technical platforms, privacy and security standards, documentation elements unique to telehealth, and concerns with providing telehealth care to patients in other states.
